The Saturday market in Uzès smelled good.  The sky was a clear blue that smelled clean and hinted of Spring not being too far away.  As I strolled by the stalls, the odors of flowers, olives, spices… even the fish were enticing and exciting.  The open-air markets are a constant in life in the South of France, and for some of us, a real highlight in the week.  Today, with the beautiful sky and the promise of Spring in the air, the market was especially delightful!  Hope you enjoy these photos.
